I got to thinking on this morning's run that in yesterday's post I left out the obvious, meaningful thing you give up when you go running: time with loved ones, maybe a phone call home, time spent building relationships with people. Well, this is always the major worry about running. For me and Tammi, running makes up a big part of our relationship. It's a way we have fun with each other and support each other and learn from each other. It was a common interest we immediately shared on first dates and probably was a signal that we shared similar habits and values. This easy symmetry will of course change if we're lucky enough to have kids--then we'll manage something.
Anyway, appropos of that article in the WSJ sometime back, there was a thread on letsrun.com, a very informative running website, where runners discussed running and marriage. It's an anecdotal goldmine:
